microwaved death, part #52

[baratron]

Eurgh. I have flu. It started on Friday night with a pain in my neck and my leg randomly giving way when I tried to walk. Had very strange dreams and woke up on Saturday freezing cold and unable to get warm, with my throat feeling like it did when I had tonsillitis. Friends came round anyway and we went out for dinner, which was a huge mistake. Collapsed in a heap and slept all day, making sure to take lots of vitamin C and cough mixture every time I woke up. I was supposed to be working today, but that was entirely out of the question - I didn't even have enough voice to ring in sick. I had to send my mum a text msg with work's phone number and get her to call!

Now I feel a bit better, but I think going out of the house would be a Very Bad Idea for at least the next 24 hours. Will have to do Christmas shopping later in the week and send all my presents first class :/ I have a doctor's appointment on Tuesday morning which I've had booked for ages, so if I still feel like this then, I'll get him to look at my tonsils and make sure it is only flu. Blergh.

Hope you're better soon HL :)

And if it is flu, make sure you're adequately cared for--flu is one of those oddities, a disease that kills thousands of people every year and killed more Europeans than World War I, but can mostly be handled, if you know what you're doing and don't ignore it when it needs treatment.

Oh dear... sounds like it might be the same virus C had?
